in benghazi. the only libyan government response reportedly appears to have been a police vehicle parked in front of that gate that you mentioned, which sped away as the attack on september 11th happened. so the security department did nothing to fill that security gap. why? >> well, they should have, if they didn't want to provide the security forces because of some bureaucratic reason like not enough resources, not enough money, then clearly they should have shut this diplomatic post down. as the report said, it is shockingly irresponsible for them not to have protected those americans. and that is the seriousness of this entire thing. it is the policy in libya is also at fault because we were disengaging from the libyans as opposed to investing in them and helping them build an adequate security force and that also contributed but the main contribution here is just irresponsibility. heather: well, finally, i want to touch on what the report kind of wraps up with which is the white house's respo
